Tag: Meme Monday

There are a few things you won’t want to do until the kids are either, one, in bed or two, until they’re in bed! Because let’s face it, even sending them to their room to clean up is setting yourself up. They’re not cleaning up, they’re really just quietly playing with the toys they just found!

There are words that would describe having little ones, such as blessings, miracles, etc. But so do words like, sleep deprivation, no gym time and wine. However, there’s no need to feel discouraged, because even signs like ‘Jim’ can bring a sigh of relief and a smile to my heart.

It’s been one of those weeks. That week when your parents lease is up and nothing has gone as intended, having no other place to go, offered my home while they find a new place, they said yes, I rearranged the rooms so we’d make room for the grandparents, on the same week that my three year was evaluated to know if he qualifies to enter preschool and did i mention all the while, still potty training him! Phew – I know, that was a lot to take in.

I thought weekends were meant for sleep and relaxation?! Yet, it seems to me like there’s more work to be done on the weekends than there is to do during the week, leaving me a bit sluggish on Monday’s. However, here’s to a productive week ahead! May you set out to accomplish your goals or pushing yourself to tackle those things you’ve yet to do. Do you get the same feeling Monday’s?! Please tell me you do.

There are many qualities we look for in future spouses. The things you look for in a life long partner may be short or long, but our lists may still be somewhat the same. This one in the meme however, I didn’t think of myself. I got to know my husband’s patience level when there came the time to put something together and the need to read the instruction manual became apparent and not a reality. Pfft, who needs a manual anyway?!

There comes a time in one’s life when they are blessed to become a parent. There is also a time when you must multi-task to be able to get things done – or at least started. And no one knows the art of multi-tasking better than a teacher. Last year in December I had the pleasure of volunteering at my third graders class trip to watch the ballet, The Nutcracker. It was early morning and before the class could even get out the door and onto the buses, the teacher still had to get her morning routine done. And let’s just say, it was both amusing and shocking. But then again I have my very own mini tribe, so to say things surprise me, it would be a bit of a bluff on my behalf. This meme describes that morning in a nut shell. Thank you teachers for all you do – you are true heroes without the capes!

I’ll be honest, I’m not much of a football follower, fan, watcher, etc. However, I will make the time to watch the Superbowl. And this years Superbowl was no exception, now the game itself – no offense, I watched closely in anticipation for the commercials. However, I will say, I was elated for the ‘GOAT’ (greatest of all time) the Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady – amazing! I think it’s one of those things we won’t see for a really, really long time, so glad I got to watch it happen.
